    Yay China. Say… isn’t this the same country that turns out 68% of the world’s air pollution?

    What have they done about that?

      In 2021, China, the United States, the EU27, India, Russia and Japan remained the world’s largest CO2 emitters. Together they account for 49.2% of global population, 62.4% of global Gross Domestic Product, 66.4% of global fossil fuel consumption and 67.8% of global fossil CO2 emissions.

      Unless China annexed the US, the EU, India, Russia, and Japan and I just haven’t gotten the memo yet…

      wow lemmy is full of liberals

      Ya think maybe producing most of the world’s shit has anything to do with that pollution, buddy? Like wow the west outsourced most of its manufacturing to China, no fucking shit it’s going to produce more pollution. What’s their per capita #s look like, frienderino?
